We performed a meta-analysis to determine whether combined evidence shows an association between HLA-B*51 and HLA-B*52 alleles and TNF-α-308A/G polymorphism and the susceptibility to Takayasu arteritis (TA). Relevant articles dated November 2015 were acquired from the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases. The number of genotypes and/or alleles for HLA-B*51 and HLA-B*52 alleles and TNF-α-308 A/G polymorphism in cases and control subjects was extracted, and statistical analysis was conducted using STATA 11.2 software. We included 20 studies with 1864 TA patients and 6973 controls. The HLA-B*52 allele was found to be associated with TA (pooled OR 3.91, 95 % CI 3.22-4.74, P < 0.0001). The meta-analysis of TNF-α-308 A/G polymorphism for the A allele vs. G allele (P = 0.006) and AA + AG vs. GG (P = 0.023) revealed a significant association with TA. However, we did not find that the HLA-B*51 allele was associated with TA. This meta-analysis demonstrated that the HLA-B*52 allele and TNF-α-308 A/G polymorphism may contribute to TA susceptibility.

HLA-B5 prevalence in patients with spondyloarthritis and impact on disease phenotype: a multicentric case-control study.

Department of Medical Laboratories, Hôtel-Dieu de France, Beirut, Lebanon.
Objective: The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of HLA-B51 and HLA-B52 in Lebanese patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) compared to healthy controls (HC). We further aimed to evaluate the impact of HLA-B51 on phenotype and identify the distribution of the alleles in the HLA-B locus.
Methods: A case-control study enrolled consecutive SpA patients from three rheumatology clinics in Lebanon, including axial (axSpA), peripheral SpA (pSpA), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and HC from blood donors.

Behçet's disease is an inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. Genetic tendency has an important role in its pathogenesis, and HLA-B51, a class I MHC antigen, has been recognized as the strongest susceptibility factor for Behçet's disease. Despite the confirmation of the association of HLA-B51 with Behçet's disease in different populations, its pathogenic mechanisms remain elusive.

Behçet's syndrome (BS) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory disorder characterized by oral and genital ulcers and ocular inflammation. BS has a complex genetic etiology. To evaluate the influence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I in BS susceptibility in Iranian Azari population, we studied 290 BS patients and 300 healthy controls.

Pol283-8-specific, HLA-B*51:01-restricted, cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) play a critical role in the long-term control of HIV-1 infection. However, these CTLs select for the reverse transcriptase (RT) I135X escape mutation, which may be accumulating in circulating HIV-1 sequences. We investigated the selection of the I135X mutation by CTLs specific for the same epitope but restricted by HLA-B*52:01.
